STEP 1: After Invis-A-Rack has been installed, drill hole in J-hooks for
clamp half if needed (see template). Clean all areas where
adhesive block seal and D-seal will be applied, apply silicone
to areas shown on silicone instruction sheet. Seals will need to
be custom cut for each application. Block seal will start at the
notched out sections and continue to the tailgate in the rear, and
the bulkhead in the front. Keep Block seal flush with the top of
truck rail. D- seal will be placed between J hooks in the track
at the lowest position. When applying seals, cut long
and compress to allow for shrinkage.
